2005réf. 2340645New Haven: Yale University Press 2005. 1st Printing. Soft Cover. Near Fine. 9x6x1. First printing. Minor general wear. 2005 Soft Cover. xvii 466 pp. A majestic exploration of Bourbon Spain’s efforts to come to terms with the native peoples of the Americas from Argentina to Alaska. Two centuries after Cortés and Pizarro seized the Aztec and Inca empires Spain’s conquest of America remained unfinished. Indians retained control over most of the lands in Spain’s American empire. Mounted on horseback savvy about European ways and often possessing firearms independent Indians continued to find new ways to resist subjugation by Spanish soldiers and conversion by Spanish missionaries. In this panoramic study David J. Weber explains how late eighteenth century Spanish administrators tried to fashion a more enlightened policy toward the people they called bárbaros or “savages.” Even Spain’s most powerful monarchs failed however to enforce a consistent well-reasoned policy toward Indians. At one extreme powerful independent Indians forced Spaniards to seek peace acknowledge autonomous tribal governments and recognize the existence of tribal lands fulfilling the Crown’s oft-stated wish to use “gentle” means in dealing with Indians. At the other extreme the Crown abandoned its principles authorizing bloody wars on Indians when Spanish officers believed they could defeat them. Power says Weber more than the power of ideas determined how Spaniards treated “savages” in the Age of Enlightenment. Yale University Press paperback books
1994réf. 2341546Wilmington Delaware: Scholarly Resources 1994. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x0x9. First printing. Spine lightly faded bottom corner of rear cover lightly creased. 1994 Trade Paperback. xli 233 pp. In Where Cultures Meet editors Weber and Rausch have collected twenty essays that explore how the frontier experience has helped create Latin American national identities and institutions. Using 'frontier' to mean more than 'border' Weber and Rausch regard frontiers as the geographic zones of interaction between distinct cultures. Each essay in the volume illuminates the reciprocal influences of the 'pioneer' culture and the 'frontier' culture as they contend with each other and their physical environment. The transformative power of frontiers gives them special interest for historians and anthropologists. Delving into the frontier experience below the Rio Grande Where Cultures Meet is an important collection for anyone seeking to understand fully Latin American history and culture.

Top edge of front cover chipped edge wear. 1988 Trade Paperback. 800 pp. Winner of the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Biography and the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award this is the most comprehensive book ever written about the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. David J. Garrow had unrestricted access to Martin Luther King's personal papers to thousands of pages of newly released FBI documents and more than 700 interviews with King's closest friends and enemies. Garrow traces King's transformation from the young pastor of a modest church into the foremost spokesperson of the civil rights movement. The book's unifying theme is King's growing awareness of the symbolic meaning of the cross as his sense of mission deepened and matured into acceptance of a life that would end by demanding the ultimate sacrifice. This is a powerful portrait of a man at the epicenter of one of the most dramatic periods in our history. Vintage Books paperback books
